{"title":"SAULT","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout SAULT\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAULT formed in London in 2019 as a anonymous collective centered around producer Inflo (Dean Wynton Josiah Cover, also producer for Michael Kiwanuka, Cleo Sol, Little Simz, and others) and vocalist Cleo Sol (Cleopatra Nikolic, also a solo artist on Forever Living Originals). The collective has rotating contributions from Kid Sister, Jack Peñate, Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz, and many other unnamed musicians. They have remained anonymous as a project - never releasing official member identifications until post-hoc industry recognition (Inflo's Producer of the Year Brit Award 2022 identified him publicly), never giving interviews, and never performing live until a single unannounced 2024 London show. Their 2019-2025 catalog of 14+ albums has been influential in establishing the foundational template for contemporary Black music collective work, with integration of soul, funk, gospel, hip hop, electronic, and broader contemporary Black music traditions. Untitled (Black Is) (2020) was released free for download on Bandcamp on Juneteenth 2020 in response to the George Floyd murder and broader Black Lives Matter movement; it won the British Mercury Prize in 2021 (though SAULT refused to attend the ceremony). Their foundational influence on contemporary Black music collective and anonymous music release approaches is widely cited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAULT's sound combines contemporary R\u0026amp;B, neo-soul, soul, funk, gospel, hip hop, electronic, post-punk, and Afrobeat with multiple distinct vocalist arrangements (Cleo Sol lead and guest vocalists), Inflo's signature multi-decade-spanning production approach (integration of contemporary and classic Black music traditions), and lyrical content addressing Black history, race, identity, spirituality, and broader contemporary social commentary drawing on Black liberation and gospel traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 (2019, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 (2019, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled (Black Is) (2020, Forever Living Originals) - Mercury Prize 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled (Rise) (2020, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine (2021, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir (2022, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarth (2022, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 (2022, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday \u0026amp; Tomorrow (2022, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled (God) (2022, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActs of Faith (2025, Forever Living Originals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eForever Living Originals pressings of the SAULT catalog have been issued in elaborate color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings, with collector demand. vinyl release scarcity has been a collector dimension across the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to SAULT typically start with Untitled (Black Is) (2020) or Nine (2021). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleo-sol\"\u003eCleo Sol\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rnb-soul-vinyl-records\"\u003eR\u0026amp;B And Soul\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sault-acts-of-faith-vinyl-uk-import","title":"Acts Of Faith LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSault provides a beautifully cohesive record, filled with passion and their signature sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540997714103,"sku":"210000097840","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/4399943-3318834.jpg?v=1781155016"},{"product_id":"sault-10-vinyl","title":"10 LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mystique around SAULT has never dulled their applause, but 10 reminds us why the cheers matter.
